On Wednesday, Donald Trump's administration rescinded the Office of Management and Budget memo that instituted his disastrous funding freeze, an apparent surrender amid a national outcry. Soon after, Trump pushed a bizarre lie about $50 million in U.S. dollars supposedly being spent on condoms for Hamas in Gaza. These kinds of things are often described as a “flood the zone” strategy, in which Trump throws so many lies and abuses of power at us that we can't keep up. But what if this approach is more likely to backfire? We talked to The New Republic's Timothy Noah, author of a good analysis of Trump's chaos strategy, who explains why the hidden story here is that Trump is best seen as “a weak president.” Looking for More from the DSR Network?

“Together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear” Joe Biden proclaimed as he took his oath of office in January 2021. His supporters argue that what the President was able to accomplish in four years is nothing short of remarkable. They point to his success at passing the largest infrastructure program since the 1950’s, expanding health care, enacting gun control legislation, and expanding NATO as incredible accomplishments that have cemented his legacy as a transformative president along the likes of FDR and Lyndon Johnson. To his detractors, Joe Biden will be remembered as an ineffective leader who presided over an era of hyperinflation, global instability, and mistrust in institutions. The effects of excessive federal spending, a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, and an unprotected southern border will be felt for generations. And capping off his disastrous tenure with an unconditional pardon for his son severed the last threads of trust in government and added fuel to the growing fire of populist resentment. Arguing in favour of the resolution is Timothy Noah, staff writer at The New Republic Arguing against the resolution is Gil Troy, presidential historian and Distinguished Scholar of North American History at McGill University You can vote on who you think won this debate.

This week, Donald Trump's lawyers admitted that he's failed to secure a bond to cover the half-a-billion-dollar penalty he faces in his civil fraud case in New York. As The New York Times delicately noted, “he does not have enough liquidity” to persuade any company to provide that bond. Translation: He doesn't have the cash. This is humiliating to Trump, relative to his self-mythology. But it also points to his broader, largely-overlooked weaknesses in the 2024 campaign. We discussed this with The New Republic's Timothy Noah, author of a great new piece on Trump's financial travails that predicts he will soon declare bankruptcy. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this podcast, our first of 2023, Chris interviews Tom Koutsoumpas, President and CEO of Capital Caring Health & CEO of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI) and Carole Fisher, President of the NPHI. Recently, ProPublica and The New Yorker published an article by Ava Kofman titled, “How Hospice Became a For-Profit Hustle.” This article put hospice in the news quite a bit toward the end of 2022 and unfortunately it did not differentiate the very real variances between for-profit hospices, which are the hospices the article was highlighting, and nonprofit community-based mission focused hospices like NPHI members and Teleios Collaborative Network (TCN) members. Chris quoted a great op-ed from Timothy Noah, staff writer with The New Republic. The op-ed was responding to the ProPublica article by drawing a sharp comparison of for-profit hospice to nonprofit hospice. Tom and Carole responded to the ProPublica article and the op-ed, they further highlighted the differences of nonprofit and for-profit hospice via a study NPHI commissioned by Milliman. Carole then went on to share a new study NPHI commissioned on Americans' views on the US Healthcare system, aging, and end-of-life care. Carole shared the fascinating outcomes from the study and how community-based nonprofit hospices can leverage this information. This is great listen with some great data and learning regarding how community-based nonprofit hospices can build on their care models to further differentiate themselves from the horrible examples in the ProPublica article which aren't even in the same universe of what community-based nonprofit hospices are providing to their communities. This is a great listen for leaders, team members, and board members of the hospice and palliative care movement. This episode will inform and challenge listeners regarding our evolution and allowing our serious illness organizations to stand apart for those needing our services tomorrow and into the future. Join us.Host: Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TCNGuest:Carole Fisher, President of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI)Tom Koutsoumpas, President and CEO of Capital Caring Health & CEO of the National Partnership for Healthcare and Hospice Innovation (NPHI)Teleios Collaborative Network / https://www.teleioscn.org/tcntalkspodcast
President Biden has announced a tougher stance on immigration at the border, saying the U.S. would begin turning away Cubans, Haitians, and Nicaraguans who cross the border from Mexico illegally. Under the new rules, migrants who come to the U.S. without first asking for asylum in the countries they travel through will be denied asylum and deported, a nearly identical plan to one the administration has used to drastically reduce the number of Venezuelan migrants traveling to the U.S. You can read today's podcast here, today's “Under the Radar” story here, and today's “Have a nice day” story here.

For the extremely wealthy who want to stash their money where nobody can find it, South Dakota is the place to go—or so recent reporting in the Pandora Papers has suggested.

On episode 37 of The Politics of Everything, hosts Laura Marsh and Alex Pareene discuss how the United States has become a tax haven and what would help solve the problem.

According to New Republic editor Timothy Noah, author of The Great Divergence: America's Growing Inequality Crisis and What We Can Do About It, America is in the midst of two significant divergences that are causing increasing wealth disparity. The first is between people with college or graduate degrees and people with lower levels of education. The second is between the 1 percent (people in the financial industry and leaders of corporations) and the 99 percent (everyone else). He explains how both divergences have their roots in the late 1970s, and what we can do to stop the gap between rich and poor from growing.
